How this works

Position size = (Account × Risk %) ÷ (Stop distance × Value per pip). For forex pairs quoted in USD, one standard lot moves $10 per pip. For futures, each instrument has a fixed tick value (ES is $12.50 per tick, NQ is $5, etc.). The calculator handles the unit conversions for you.

Pip and tick values are approximate. For non-USD-quoted forex pairs, exact pip value depends on the current exchange rate — the figures here assume USD account base currency. Always verify against your broker's contract specifications before trading.
